ALM and agility

If you ever worked in a project where a scaling factor applies, you know that appropriate tooling can help a lot achieve your objectives. But on the other hand, tools are often identified as impediments for agile adoption.

The Agile Scaling Model defines several reasons why you may work in an environment where core agile practices are not sufficient. But even in such an environment, you want to ensure your product owner, your scrum master, your development team, and your stakeholders collaborate efficiently through sprints and releases.

IBM Rational provides an ALM (Application Lifecycle Management) for disciplined agile teams. Based on Jazz, the platform integrates requirement management, design management, quality management, and change management. Team members and stakeholders have access to the same project information and assets from a web browser. Anytime, from anywhere (distributed teams will appreciate!). They can collaborate through a centralized platform., The Jazz repository provides real time status on project progress. And the team can quickly react to changes by leveraging lifecycle integration and traceability, dashboards, queries, impact analysis, an reports.

Because the ALM platform leverages OSLC, you can even integrate with other OSLC compliant vendors. No more vendor lock-in. No more silos. Everyone working together to deliver better software. This is agility for ALM !
